Aramaic Bible

Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus Christ) spoke Aramaic. Of course, this was two thousand years
ago! The language has evolved and today it is like old English; it sounds different. The Ancient Church of the East, that emerged out of Jerusalem at the end of the Apostolic Age, referred to it as Leeshana Ateeqah or the
'old tongue.' I call it Ancient Aramaic. It is still used in the liturgy of the Eastern
Churches. It is sung during Mass. There are some clergy that know how to read it. It comes in many dialects of the Middle East and Africa, of the Eastern Churches, and of the Orthodox churches of some Eastern European countries. Nobody speaks this language anymore -- not the ancient form of it. Those who claim to speak Aramaic, are only speaking modern derivatives of the language, just as nobody speaks Old English or even Middle English anymore. Nobody speaks Koine Greek, Old Norse, or Old German, and so on. These languages have all evolved. And so today one also finds Hebrew and Aramaic spoken by millions of people in the Middle East, but these are modern versions of the language.
The roots of many words are the same, however, and the old form can be learned. This I have done, so I can read the Scriptures and translate them faithfully. Actually, the Scriptures have preserved the Ancient Aramaic language, and the language has preserved the Scriptures.
Ancient Aramaic is the first language spoken by human beings. The Scriptures
were preserved only in this language. It is the language that Eashoa Msheekha
spoke.

The Galilean Aramaic of the time of Eashoa Msheekha was not the same as the
Galilean Aramaic of today, nor was it like the Hebrew of today -- even though both
languages have evolved from the Ancient Aramaic of that time. The Galilean dialect of the
Ancient Aramaic language of the time of Eashoa was the Ninevite Aramaic, today
referred to as Ashurit by even the major scholars of Judaism. So
the New Testament was recorded in Ancient Aramaic and later translated into
Koine Greek, which is a form of Greek more akin to Aramaic, as it was heavily
influenced by Aramaic. All human languages evolved out of the Leeshana Ateeqah
(Ancient Tongue) that was spoken in Mesopotamia thousands of years before the
Bible was written. However, Leeshana Ateeqah became the Leeshana Supprayah
(Scribal Language). This is the Sacred Scribal Language of the Scriptures, which
the Hebrew Prophets used and the Apostles of Eashoa Msheekha used. In fact, it
is the language Eashoa Msheekha read the Scriptures from in all the synagogues
and temples that He visited when He came to the world. This translation has been
made from the Leeshana Supprayah, the Sacred Scribal Language of the Scriptures.
This is the only Bible that has been translated from scratch using this language
as the source material.

The hallmarks of this translation are:

(1) Restoring the name of Eil. Eil is the name of the Father
that Eashoa (Jesus) used from the Cross, when He declared: 'Eil, Eil,
l'manna shwiqtani.' Eil is the correct translation. ('El' is
the article 'the' and therefore this leads to error in all the
translations that don't transliterate the name of Eil correctly.) Only the
Ancient Aramaic Scriptures carry the correct name of 'Eil.' This is
the supreme name of the Eternal Creator of the Universe. It appears for the
first time in Genesis 17:1 as Eil Shaddai (Eil the Almighty.) If the modern
day Hebrew language revivalists do not accept the name of Eil as being the
true name that appears in Genesis 17:1, how can they claim that the Old
Testament was originated in Hebrew? (Google El-Shaddai and you will find that
all the websites say 'El' is a pagan god of the Canaanite or
Ugaritic religion. Here is the first one Wikipedia
article.) In all the Hebrew Old Testaments' Book of Genesis the name is
also given as 'El.' All the Bibles of all the languages of the world
give the name as 'El.' The name is even misspelled in the Hebrew
script! How could such a huge mistake go unnoticed? It is the denial of the
Ancient Aramaic Scriptures of the Ancient Church of the East, the denial that
they are the only authentic Scriptures.

(2) Identifying the name of Eashoa (Jesus) in Zechariah
chapter 3, verse 1. It was said that the name of Eashoa (Jesus) did not appear
in the Old Testament. My translation exposed the fact that the name of Eashoa
(Jesus) was removed from the Old Testament Scriptures. Not only is the name of
Eashoa (Jesus) in the Old Testament Scriptures, it is Eashoa that the
Scriptures prophesy about throughout. Read my translation and you will see
that it so. The name of Eashoa is correctly spelled in the Hebrew script, but
incorrectly translated as Joshua in all the Western Old Testaments.

(3) Eashoa (Jesus) spoke of the Trinity in the Gospel of John chapter 5 verse
26; the 'Qnumeh' or the Trinity. My translation identifies the
concept in the Gospel of John and in the Book of Exodus. In no other
translation do you find it. It is only in the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures that
the Trinity is revealed. The Trinity is also in Paul's Letter to the Hebrews
chapter 1 verses 1-3. How could the Greek be the language of origination when
the word for 'Trinity' has not been identified in several passages?

(4) Eashoa (Jesus) spoke of the Holy Spirit. He said in the Gospel of John
that He would send them the Holy Spirit. And in the Book of Acts Eashoa
(Jesus) baptizes His Disciples with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit descended
on Eashoa (Jesus) when He was baptized by John. This was the first time the
New Testament presented the Holy Spirit. It is only through my translation
that these concepts are clearly translated and identified.

(5) In the Ancient Aramaic language the Holy Spirit is
feminine in gender. This has profound implications in the interpretation of
the Scriptures correctly. In the Ancient Aramaic language there are two
genders: feminine and masculine, there is no neuter. This is one of the sacred
features of the Ancient Aramaic language. In Greek, Latin and English
sometimes the Holy Spirit is referred to as 'it'; the Holy Spirit is
never referred to as 'She.' These languages are male-oriented and
misleading in the interpretation of certain doctrines. When the Holy Spirit is
mentioned by Eashoa, He always refers to Her as She. This is not just a
question of grammar; it is an expression of the Holy Spirit's nurturing
quality and Her sacred, compassionate nature.

CONCLUSIONS:

If the Ancient Aramaic (Leeshana Ateeqah) was not the original
language of the Scriptures, why did all forms and dialects of Hebrew, Aramaic,
Greek, Latin, English, and all the languages of the world, miss identifying
the name of Eil? Why did all the Western Churches miss the connection between
the covenant that Allaha (God) made with Abraham in Genesis 17:1 and the words
of Eashoa (Jesus) on the Cross in Mark 15:34? In both cases, the name of
Allaha is Eil. You want further proof? Here's
an article that covers all the variations of the missed name.

Mission:

1. To restore the Apostolic Scriptures for all followers of
Eashoa Msheekha.
2. To reconcile doctrinal differences between East and West.
3. To provide every reader interested in the authentic translation of the
Scriptures an online source for study.

Below is the first translation that I did, using the English language
terminology (Jesus the Messiah or Christ, and Lord God -- instead of Maran
Eashoa Msheekha and Maryah Allaha.) Everything was translated correctly as far
as the teachings of the Scriptures are concerned, so there were a lot of
revelations regarding the Scriptures that had been missed by the English
language Bibles based on the Greek and Latin; however, the impression that the
majority of the readers of this website had was that my translation project
was just another version of the Bible, and when many of these people realized
that, no, my translation was very different on some key concepts, they ran back
to their familiar readings of the Bible and their Western interpretation of
the Bible. That's when I decided that I could not in good conscience let all
my readers think that my translation was just another translation. So I began
to use the Aramaic terminology that was preserved in the Ancient Aramaic
language for two thousand years and was ignored by the Western Churches.

Now that there is a growing effort on the part of American Missionaries to
spread their false gospels to the Far East and China, I have to do my best to
emphasize the fact that the English language terminology is not itself the
problem, it is the interpretation of the Scriptures and the false doctrines
that emerged out of the Bibles translated from the Greek and Latin. So for
this reason I have retained the original translation which you will find
below. Please pay special attention to the differences in the teachings of
Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah or the Christ) that are contained even in
these first translations that I posted on the Internet starting seventeen
years ago.

The translation that you will find on this website is made
from the original Ancient Aramaic Scriptures directly into English. It is
translated from the manuscripts of the Ancient Church of the East, which
survived the persecutions by the Roman and Greek pagans of the early centuries
of Christianity. It survived the persecution of the Roman Church under
Constantine and the early Emperors of Rome in the 4th and 5th centuries. It
survived the persecution of the Crusaders who attacked the Holy Lands in
subsequent centuries. Finally, this early Church ended up in Persia and was
protected by the Persian kings until the upheavals of the Islamic conquests
starting in the 7th Century drove the Ancient Church of the East into the
mountain strongholds of Asia Minor (Ottoman Empire and later Turkey). The
Church of the East survived and maintained the Scriptures in the original
language all through the conquests of the Mongolians (Genghis Khan) 12th
Century, and the Tartars (Tamerlane) 15th Century. The Church of the East had
spread the faith in Eashoa all the way to China, from the 5th to the 8th
Century. The Church of the East survived the Islamic conquests of the Fertile
Crescent and the Holy Lands.

While Europe was in the Dark Ages, the Ancient Church of the
East was also struggling against the forces of darkness. However, the Church
continued to spread the teachings of Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah) and
the knowledge of the Scriptures throughout the ages.

This Church has miraculously survived to this day. The
descendants of Ashur continue to read the Scriptures in their language, the
language that Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and Eashoa (Jesus)
spoke, the language of all the Prophets of the Scriptures who prophesied about
Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah.) They are in all parts of the world. They
no longer have a country, but they maintain their language in various
dialects. The ancient Scriptures were maintained in the original language, the
mother tongue that was spoken in Mesopotamia and the surrounding regions from
the beginning of recorded history. The language started out as pictures
(pictographic writing), evolved into symbols (cuneiform) and finally became
alphabetical in Nineveh at about 800 BC. The Phoenicians used this language
for trade; it spread and became the dominant language of the Holy Lands at the
time of Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah.)

The Roman Catholic Church was dominant in Europe throughout
the Middle Ages. In the early 17th Century, Christianity went through a
Reformation. Martin Luther in Germany and William Tyndale in England broke
away from the Catholic Church and translated the Bible into German and
English. This opened the floodgates of knowledge to Europeans and subsequently
to Americans. The US in turn broke away from Catholicism and established its
own brand of Protestantism. The early US Presidents sought independence from
Catholic and European Protestant churches. They did not recognize Orthodox
Christianity either. As for the Church of the East, which was not involved in
the Reformation, the American churches ignored completely, and the authentic
Scriptures preserved in the Ancient Aramaic language became totally foreign to
American Christians. This is what I have struggled with for the last sixteen
years because the majority of my readers are the English speaking peoples of
the world. They are used to the traditional English language terms, such as
Jesus Christ and Lord God. Therefore, I have retained this terminology for
them and posted it on another page

The Difference

All religions are great when it comes to celebration, success and victory;
but when it comes to sickness, failure, and death, religions have nothing to
offer, except to express sorrow and consolation.

When Eashoa walked the earth, He fed the thousands with a few fish and a
few loafs of bread, He healed the sick and raised the dead; but He had not
come to demonstrate His ability to feed the masses or prevent them from dying.
He had not come to lead his followers in battle against their enemies. He
could have done all that from heaven. He did not need to set foot on earth.

Eashoa came to the world to teach us how to deal with failure, sickness and
death. We all do very well when successful, healthy and alive. When there are
failures in life, no solutions, insurmountable problems and opposition, there
is no greater example than that set by Eashoa, as He instructed His disciples
to deal with each and every difficulty.

When they were sick, He healed them. When dying, He raised them. But what
happened after Lazarus was raised from the dead, after the woman was healed of
hemorrhaging, after lepers and the lame were healed? They were going to die
after some years. He may have extended their life on earth by some years, but
they would not live forever on earth. Lazarus would have to die sometime;
everybody dies and everybody leaves this life.

With Eashoa, failure does not get you down, sickness does not overwhelm
you, and dying is not the most horrible thing that ever happened to you. It is
all bearable. Eashoa is literally there for you when you need Him. If you
never experienced the miraculous power of Eashoa, you are really missing
something. If you never heard a doctor say, 'It is a miracle; you are no
longer sick, we cannot find the disease,' you do not know what it is like
to be healed by Eashoa.

When you can lift yourself up and go on with your life after a great
failure, you know what it is like to be a follower of Eashoa.

When you are dying and there is no one around who can help you, but you
feel confident and your fear is manageable or completely absent, you know what
it is to truly believe in Eashoa.

When it comes time to die, you will understand what it was like for Eashoa
to give His life for your sake. He is the only one who can resurrect you if
you put your life in His hands.

This is why He came to the world, to prove that He is the Manifestation of
the Creator of the universe. He resurrected Himself and He can resurrect you.

Once you understand that He is the only one who can resurrect you, then you
will rest assured, and, when your time comes, you will be able to die at
peace. Once you follow Eashoa and accept Him, you will be able to deal with
failure, defeat, sickness and death at any time during your life, and you will
not think in terms of worldly rewards, but you will come to understand the
heavenly rewards, the Kingdom that Eashoa spoke of, the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Greek Logos

The word 'Milta' is translated as 'Logos'
in the Greek 'Original.' What does 'Logos' mean in Greek?
The term was used as far back as the 6th Century BC. Aristotle wrote about it.
Subsequent philosophers wrote about it. The Catholics Jerome and Augustine
wrote about it and made it into the holy word describing Jesus in the western
tradition of Christianity.

However, Milta is the original word that the writers of the
Scriptures used to describe Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah). Milta is more
than 'the word.' It is more than a philosophical concept, describing
Jesus as the spokesman for God. Eashoa is more than a spokesman in the Gospel
of John.

Eashoa (Jesus) is the Manifestation of the Creator. Eashoa
(Jesus) manifests the Father in every way. He is the physical manifestation of
the Father, the Father whom we would have never known fully if Eashoa (Jesus)
had not come to the world. However, we cannot bypass Eashoa in order to have a
direct connection to the Father; our connection can only be through Eashoa
(Jesus). This is what it means that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

When you read my translation of the Gospel of John you get
that clearly. I have added an audio commentary to my translation of the Gospel
of John.

June 1, 2013

I've decided to repost the New Testament. Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John are already posted. You'll find the links at top right. I'm satisfied
that presenting the Aramaic New Testament Scriptures with the original terms
preserved intact from the time of Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah) and the
Apostles, whom He sent forth to preach the Gospel, is the best I can do to
spread the True Gospel. I will continue to post commentaries to clarify some
of the most critical aspects of my translation.

July 28, 2013

'Paul wrote
his letters to the Greeks and therefore all the New Testament was originated
in Greek.'

This is the main justification of Western theology in claiming
that the New Testament was originated in Greek.

What this does is that all those followers of Eashoa Msheekha
from the East are ignored and forgotten, and their faith is denied. Who are
these followers of Eashoa? They are descendants of the Ashurai in Northern
Mesopotamia, such as the Sourai-Atourai-Assyrians; the descendants of the
Babylonians in Southern Mesopotamia, such as the Chaldeans and Sumerians; the
balance of the Aramaic speaking people in the Near East and the Holy Lands;
the descendants of the small kingdoms that proliferated during the Greek and
Roman Empires; and the descendants of the African followers of Eashoa
Msheekha, such as the Ethiopians and the Copts. There are millions of Aramaic
speaking peoples in Asia from the Apostolic Age, in India, China and the Far
East. There are Armenians, Maronites, Melkites, Byzantines, Syrianis, and
literally hundreds of other ethnicities that are all forgotten by the West,
when it comes to mentioning who are the followers of Eashoa Msheekha.

Who are all these nations and ethnicities that followed Eashoa
Msheekha from the beginning of the Apostolic Age? They are the fruits of the
labor of the twelve disciples of Eashoa Msheekha and the rest of the Apostles
that went East to preach the Gospel. Why does the West only talk about Peter
and Paul?

What about the other disciples? Here are the names of all the
disciples: Shimun Keepa (Simon Peter); Andreius (Andrew) his brother; Yacov
(James), Youkhanan (John) his brother; Pileepus (Philip); Bartulmeh
(Bartholomew); Tooma (Thomas); Mattai (Matthew); Yakov bar Khalpeh (James, son
of Alphaeus); Teedeh (Jude); Shimun the Cananean (Simon the Zealot); and
Matthias, who was chosen to replace Yehuda (Judas Iscariot). What happened to
them? Did they not go all over the world and preach the Gospel of Eashoa
Msheekha? Were they not Jews who spoke the Ancient Aramaic language? In what
language were the Books of the New Testament and the Old Testament written?
Did they preach in Greek?

Why deny the work of all those disciples and apostles of
Eashoa Msheekha? Why deny Eastern Christianity for a thousand years? Western
Christianity didn't begin until the second millennium, and now that it's the
third millennium Western Christianity is trying to ignore the Eastern
followers of Eashoa Msheekha again; but this can't happen, because Maryah
won't allow it to happen. The knowledge of the original Scriptures recorded in
the Ancient Aramaic language is beginning to be spread everywhere.

July 28, 2013

My efforts to reintroduce the original Ancient Aramaic terms
and certain critical names and words should help everyone who wishes to know
Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah) and His Teachings. Moreover, the shared
knowledge between the followers of Eashoa will help us bridge the gap in the
Faith. Please write to me if you have questions or clarifications.

Eashoa knew that the Scriptures would be
misinterpreted; nevertheless He followed them and showed his disciples
how He fulfilled them. He wanted them to spread his teachings regarding the
Scriptures by his example and their adherence to what He taught them. That is
why his teachings are so crucial to an understanding of the prophecies
regarding him.

Eashoa was on earth only thirty-three and a half years, and
his mission was accomplished in three and a half years. The four Gospels
depict his life on earth from four different perspectives. Matthew is
historical, Mark is dynamic, Luke is literary, and John is spiritual. The Four
Gospels tell the story of Eashoa; but it is Paul who ties the Old and the New
Testament Scriptures together. The Book of Acts is written by many apostles,
but it is clear from the Ancient Aramaic literary styles contained that it is
Paul who compiled them. Paul trained the apostles in the scribal art. His
diction is evident throughout the Book of Acts, even though it is mostly
Shilah who scribed them. So it is evident that Paul wrote some of the chapters
himself.

The same goes for the Letters of the Apostles; it is clear
that Paul compiled them as well. He trained most of the scribes who wrote
them. Paul also compiled John's Revelation. John's voice is distinct, however;
all three Texts written by John have the same style. The Three Letters of
John, the Gospel of John and Revelation are clearly the work of one scribe.

With the Ancient Aramaic it is possible to go back to the
origin of what Eashoa intended.

When Eashoa came to the world two thousand years ago, He was
faced with great opposition. He knew that it would be so; but He had decided
from before that it should be this way. Glory be to his name, He knew
everything; however, as a man He had a life-saving mission to impart: He had
to sacrifice himself for the sake of humanity. Nothing was going to work if He
had not come to the world. From the time that writing was invented six
thousand years ago until his coming, the prophets had tried to explain the
Law. They had admonished the people regarding the intentions of the Creator of
the universe; but everything written in the Scriptures would not suffice,
because it takes somebody getting killed before anyone admits that the cause
of death was legitimate. Blood is the only thing that works in the end. People
don't believe in their hearts until somebody dies for them. They tried
sacrificing animals, burning a portion of their crops, and killing whoever
transgressed the Law; but nothing was as convincing as the ultimate sacrifice
by the Son of Allaha (Son of God) himself.

It was prophesied that Eashoa would come to the world and He
would sacrifice himself on behalf of humanity. But who was it going to be?
Secular historians have written about Eashoa, so we know that Eashoa did come
to the world. He has been known by many names today: Jesus, Emanuel, Yesus,
Yeshua, Yeheshua, Michael, and so on. In Aramaic it is Eashoa; but whatever He
is called, we know that He sacrificed his life willingly as it is recorded in
the Scriptures. The Scriptures have well documented this. The only way that
worked for us was that the Creator of the universe should send his Son to die
for us, a sacrifice that would forever prove his love for us.

We do not have to kill anything or anybody to prove our
loyalty, since Eashoa gave his own life for our sake. People can give their
life to save their country or their families; it is well known that such
sacrifices are well regarded, but Eashoa gave his life so that humanity should
be able to be spared the final death. We all die, but what matters most is the
final death, the death of the soul and the spirit, death without resurrection.
We seek continuity, some way of going on in the spirit. All creatures have
souls. Soul is nothing more than the breath of life. If you breath you are a
soul; but if we receive the spirit from the Creator then we are a human being.

Eashoa had to shed his blood and die for us before we would
believe that He loved us. That He also was resurrected is the only hope we
have of being resurrected, and so we can have continuity beyond physical
death. But what we seek is not just spiritual life, we want physical life
after death too. As human beings we cannot comprehend physical death, except
if we agree to dying for a cause or for someone. One of Eashoa's disciples was
frustrated, because Eashoa said He would suffer and die, and so he said to
Eashoa, 'Then let me go bury my father.' And Eashoa said to him,
'Let the dead bury the dead.' The tragedy of death is when it is
spiritual death. Those who deny Eashoa, don't have the chance for spiritual
life. Lazarus was resurrected. He lived a few more years, but he too would die
the eventual first death, the physical death of the body. What we ought to
seek is spiritual life, and that life is only through Eashoa Msheekha.

It is the mission of this website to present the true
teachings of Eashoa Msheekha through the gift of translation that He has given
me. I will be posting the Letters of Paul next.

August 14, 2013

Order of the Books

The Scriptures were placed in the order we find them because of the
spiritual progression toward revealing Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah).
Maryah (the Lord) himself writes His teachings over the hearts of men and
women. It is not by the greatness of men's visions or their magnificent
intellects that the truth is preserved. It is in Maryah's own words that the
truth is revealed throughout the ages. It is men's responsibility to point the
way to the truth and it is women's role to nurture their children in the true
knowledge of the original Scriptures.

Many attempts have been made to obscure the path to the Scriptures; but the
Scriptures keep finding their target. Maryah himself reveals the Scriptures to
humanity. Our role is simply to allow the Light to shine in.

Therefore, read the Scriptures in the order they were written and interpret
their meanings in the context of what they teach; do not zigzag through the
Books, picking a passage here and there, to prove your own point of view.
Follow the logic of Maryah and not the wisdom of man.

Controversies
over the Christian Canon - article about the prophecies regarding
Eashoa being the Msheekha (Messiah) prophesied by the Scriptures and how that
determined which was the canon of the faith in his name.

Nov. 17, 2013

Jesus knew

Eashoa knew everything. He knew how hard it would be to
explain His Mission to the world. I wish people would understand why the
Ancient Aramaic Scriptures are essential to an understanding of the faith in
His Name. It's Eashoa Msheekha. I wish you could learn to say it. It would not
solve all the problems with interpretation, but it would help. Click
here to read the full article.

Dec. 2, 2013

The Controversies over which script was
older and which was the dialect of Aramaic that Eashoa spoke, can all be
traced to the denial that Eashoa (Jesus) was the Msheekha (Messiah) prophesied
by the Scriptures, that He was Allaha (God) in the Flesh and the Milta of
Allaha (the Manifestation of God) who sacrificed Himself for the sake of
humanity.

Only by following the Ancient Aramaic language can one
ascertain such words as the Trinity (Tla Qnumeh) and their meaning. Only by
studying the Ancient Aramaic language that was spoken by the Prophet Jonah and
the people of Nineveh several centuries before Eashoa came to the world, does
one realize that this dialect called Ashurit (the language of the Ashurai)
still retains the alphabet in the original order, with the original vowels and
the manner of pronunciation peculiar to the Galileans of the time of Eashoa.
For example, 'I am the Alap and the Tau' has been changed to 'I
am the Alpha and Omega.' The latter are the first and last letters of the
Greek alphabet. This is not the correct title of Allaha (God.) Other Aramaic
derivatives, such as Arabic and Persian, don't retain the order of the
alphabet either, so the concepts of the original Scriptures aren't retained in
these languages as well.

All translations of the Bible retain many of the doctrines and
stories of the Bible, but only the Ancient Aramaic retains all of them, and my
translation is faithful to the original Ancient Aramaic language that Eashoa
spoke and read the Scriptures from. The Ancient Aramaic and the Ancient Hebrew
are the only dialects that retain all the consonants of the original scribal
language of the Bible; but only the Ancient Aramaic of Nineveh retains the
original vowel sounds. This is why I've provided you with so many audio
and video
clips.

So when you hear and see various scripts and pronunciations of
Aramaic over the Internet, don't be confused by the claims of many that theirs
is the oldest or most authentic presentation. There's only one language and
one dialect that Eashoa spoke, and that's the Galilean of His Day. What I've
shown you is not a construct of plausible translations or pronunciations of
the Ancient Aramaic language, like some movies have attempted to do by
distorting the story of Eashoa Msheekha and His Teachings; my pronunciation
captures the true meanings of what Maran Eashoa Msheekha said and did two
thousand years ago.

The Significance of the Ancient Aramaic
Language

One of the most sophisticated ways to deny the Creator's
Triune nature is teaching that the Old Testament was originated in Hebrew and
that the New Testament was originated in Greek. This way the variations in the
pronunciation of the Alphabet could be used as a tool to manipulate the
meaning of the Scriptures' words. And nobody would be the wiser, as it sounds
logical that the Prophets wrote in Hebrew and that Paul wrote in Greek,
because the Prophets were Jewish and the early converts were Greeks and
Romans. It sounds logical, right?

Well, Abraham came from Mesopotamia, together with his wife
Sarah. They spoke the Ancient Aramaic of that early period (just as Noah, his
wife and children had spoken the earlier version of the Ancient Aramaic in
Mesopotamia). Then there came Isaac, whose wife Rebecca was from Mesopotamia
(she was his second cousin); and then Jacob married Leiah and Rachel, who were
also from Mesopotamia, who were also from the house of his great uncle. So
they all spoke the same language, the Ancient Aramaic.

In the centuries that followed the life of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, there came the twelve tribes of Israel, which emerged out of Jacob's
twelve sons -- they all spoke the Ancient Aramaic language. They all spoke it,
but the script kept changing and the dialects kept evolving. The Hebrew
language then came from Mesopotamia. The word 'Avrai' (Hebrew) came
from the word for Passover: the Angel of Allaha (God) 'aver', in
other words 'passed over' the Children of Israel; he delivered them
from death ('pašeenun' or 'delivered them' and therefore
'Piškhah' or 'Deliverance' -- Piškha is how the Jews
pronounce the name of Passover in Hebrew even today.)

And when did the word 'Jewish' come into use to
describe the Hebrew people's religion and name? After Jacob's son Judah (Yehooda
in Aramaic) settled in Judea, which was named after his tribe Judea (Eahud).
Centuries later, the word for 'Jew' became 'Hoidaya. In short
all the Biblical names were from the Ancient Aramaic language.

The Hebrew script and dialect evolved out of the original
Ancient Aramaic language. The actual script was modified after the time of
Moses. The Commandments were given to Moses in the Ancient Aramaic, because
the Ancient Aramaic was older than the Egyptian and it did not depict pictures
of animals in its forms. However, the Hebrew script (which is familiar to
people studying the Bible in the Hebrew) is a more recent development. It was
invented to codify the Scriptures, but it led to altered interpretations, and
therefore the present inconsistencies that resulted in the denial of Eashoa's
Triune Essence.

The Greek Septuagint, and the Latin translations from it,
deleted the reference to the Trinity. And the modern Hebrew Torah is
translated from the Septuagint for this reason also; it makes no reference to
the Trinity. Other translations into Arabic and Persian don't contain the word
for 'Trinity' in its original form, Tlah Qnumeh. The Greek Original
translation also makes a reference to the word 'Qnomeh' as Qnomos.
The Greek language lacks many of the letters of the Alphabet that refer to
Biblical terminology. Even the name of Eashoa does not maintain any of the
phonetics or letters of the original name, so it comes out as Yesus, which is
translated as 'Jesus' in English.

These deficiencies in the Greek, Latin and the Western
languages make it very hard for a true understanding of the meanings of the
New Testament, just as the reliance on the Septuagint has made it hard for a
true understanding of the Old Testament Scriptures.

Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah) said to the Pharisees and
the Scribes, in Matthew 12:39, ôA wicked and adulterous generation wants
signs, and no signs will be given it; except for the sign of Jonah the
prophet. 40. ôFor just as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and
three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days
and three nights. 41. ôThe men of Nineveh will rise at Judgment with this
generation and hold it accountable, for they repented by the preaching of
Jonah, and behold one greater than Jonah is here now.'

The language of the Men of Nineveh was the Ancient Aramaic.
Nineveh was the last capital of the Ashurai in Mesopotamia. That's the language that Jonah
spoke to them. It was and remains to this day the only sacred scribal language
of the Scriptures. The original Ancient Aramaic Church that emerged out of
Jerusalem preserved the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures in the Lesshana Ateeqah
(Ancient Tongue.) This is my native language. I speak, read and write the
modern Aramaic and I have also studied the ancient form of it over the last
sixty years. I know most of the dialects of Modern Aramaic, so when I do
readings from the Scriptures, I try and pronounce it as accurately as
possible, and not just to make it sound more authentic but to maintain the
original meanings of the words, the expressions and figures of speech.

Also, the Scriptures were written mostly in verse, so it's
necessary to capture the beauty of the language as it glorifies our Maryah and
Maran Eashoa Msheekha.

Differences in Interpretation is not the
Problem

Eashoa (Jesus) chose twelve men to be his disciples. One of
them betrayed him and committed suicide. He didn't think that he would be
forgiven, or maybe he did not think he deserved to be forgiven. All the
disciples ran away or denied knowing Eashoa. They were all afraid, but they
all repented and were forgiven. The unrepentant disciple was replaced. There
were again twelve disciples. They went all over the world and preached the
faith in Eashoa's name.

The mission of the disciples was to spread the teachings of
Eashoa Msheekha. They came from different backgrounds and probably had
different accents or maybe even different dialects. The Four Gospels were
written in the Ancient Aramaic language. Reading them in the original, it is
clear that they had different styles. The writers had different vocabularies,
like different novelists would have in modern times. Stylistically they are
all very well written. Paul was the most accomplished scribe among them. He
had been a Pharisee, so it is to be expected that his writing was phenomenal.

The disciples and the writers of the the New Testament were
not physically powerful men, but they were zealous toward their mission. They
did not have a set of books or scrolls when they began their mission. They
spread the faith in Eashoa Msheekha by recalling his teachings. They did not
have Bibles. They carried some of the Gospels with them. They wrote to each
other. We have Paul's Letters to this day, together with what a few of the
others wrote. There is no telling how many letters they wrote. All their
letters could not have survived. Therefore, there would be differences in
interpretation. There would be disagreements perhaps, just as we today have
disagreements on what certain passages mean.

The important thing is understanding who Eashoa Msheekha is
and what was his main mission. Our differences in interpretation could result
in disagreements. It does not matter that there are thousands of different
interpretations today. We may even have arguments with each other -- as long
as we ask forgiveness for ourselves and are willing to forgive others. Eashoa
Msheekha gave his followers one commandment. He said, 'Love each other as
I have loved you.'

The Mystery of Christmas.

There are many people that treat the birth of Eashoa Msheekha
as a mystery. I think it has to do with the fact that Eashoa's Kingdom is Not
of This World -- as He said to Pilate. Here's an article regarding the birth
of Eashoa.

Funding a church not made with hands

Here's a note about my crowd-funding project: the Ancient
Aramaic Church. I tried to raise funds to publish a hardcover edition of my
Aramaic Bible: Disciples New Testament and disseminate it throughout the world
and to make a movie about the Story of Jesus (there are so many coming out now
with false doctrines), but there is so little support for my efforts. Many
crowd-funding projects that espouse false doctrines of Christianity and some
that are outright Satanic get funding, but my projects get little funding. So
I had to come to terms with this phenomenon. Click

Proving the authenticity of the Scriptures

How do I prove that my translation is from the original and
authentic Scriptures that Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah) intended for the
apostles to preach to the ends of the world?

I've tried explaining that there are some essential concepts
that have not been retained by any of the other translations; for example,
'Tla Qnumeh,' or the Trinity (the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit) and Milta (the Manifestation of the Father through Eashoa.) My efforts
to demonstrate this have failed to convince most Christians. I don't know if
there are any people who believe me on this point, yet it's a central issue of
my translation. I have made many videos and audios to explain this.

My new course of action is to teach the Ancient Aramaic
language in its sacred scribal form. This is something I haven't done in the
past. This is what the Ancient Aramaic Church is going to make as its central
focus. There are millions of people that know Aramaic and many millions more
that know its derivatives. There are a few people that even know the ancient
form of the language, because they have studied it in theological seminaries.
None of them understand what I mean by the 'sacred scribal language'
or the 'leeshanah Supprayah.' This is not a reference to literary
Aramaic; 'leeshanah supprayah' refers to the official and sacred
language of the Scriptures. This is the language that Eashoa (Jesus) read from
in the synagogues of Galilee. This is something the modern scholars of Aramaic
on the web have to come to terms with, otherwise they won't be able to
understand my work as a translator.

Here is the heart of the matter: the Ancient Aramaic is a
language that has been 'silenced.' This doesn't mean it's been
terminated. It means it's been discontinued as a spoken language. It remains
as a liturgical language, however. There are certain words that have been
'retired' completely.

The most important of these is 'Maryah'. Maryah
(translated as Lord in English and other languages with similar designations)
is a term to refer only to Eashoa (Jesus). Here's the explanation: before the
time of Eashoa, 'Maryah' was used to refer to the Father (as in
Heavenly Father). The word 'maryah' was also used as
'Mister,' as in English. After the time of Eashoa, the word Maryah
was retired and could only be used to refer to Eashoa. It was also used to
refer to the Father, but now with a new understanding, as Eashoa was the Milta
(Manifestation) of the Father.

The word 'Milta' has been retired also. The word
originally could mean 'word' or 'verb.' After the time of
Eashoa, Milta only refers to Maran Eashoa Msheekha.

I'll continue this discussion in my future audio and video
commentaries. I want everyone to understand why the Ancient Aramaic language
must be treated as the sacred scribal language and not as a spoken language or
literary language. I don't need to prove that the manuscript I'm translating
from is the oldest found; archeology is not the issue. I don't need to prove
that the manuscript I'm translating from has been sanctioned by any church;
doctrine is not the issue. I don't need to prove that the manuscript I'm
translating from is in the proper dialect; nationalism is not the issue. The
only thing I need to prove is whether or not the manuscript I'm translating
from contains the fundamental belief system of the Apostles of Eashoa, the
belief system which Eashoa taught. This I've done, even if you take just two
words: Maryah and Milta. I have a lot more and they'll be revealed in
subsequent commentaries, as I said. If I were to present archeological proof,
doctrinal ideas or a chain of authority, it would take me a thousand years and
more books than the whole universe could hold. This is what John was talking
about when he concluded his Gospel with the following words: John 21:25.
'But there were also a great many things that Eashoa did, that if they
were written of one by one, not even the whole universe, I expect, would hold
them all.'

The Ancient Aramaic Church having been launched as a
result of the Indiegogo campaign showed me that Maryah (the Lord) helps
through unusual ways to spread the Gospel. The use of PCs and Laptops is
dwindling. The Internet has already moved to the smart phones. Everyone
carries these gadgets around now. People are more absorbed by these electronic
devices than by what is going on around them. It is like living in virtual
reality in the middle of the real world. So more people can get out now and
maybe even meet somebody and have a real encounter.

The Ancient Aramaic Church needs to find a new way to reach the smart phone
people. If you know how, please email me.

The Ancient Aramaic Scriptures translation project
went from traditional Western terminology to Aramaic terminology in the course
of fifteen years of translating. At this writing the reader of this website
will find a transition from such terms as Jesus Christ, Eashoa the Messiah and
Lord God to Eashoa Msheekha and Maryah Allaha.

There are a number of versions of the Bible on this website. The first one
was entitled the Disciples New Testament, the American Edition. This version
keeps all the original terms. Then I introduced the Aramaic New Testament,
with a few of the terms changed, such as Eashoa the Messiah instead of Jesus
Christ.

The new terminology doesn't change the meaning of the passages, it only
shows the original terms instead of the new terms derived from the
Greek-Latin-English translations; all my translations are the same otherwise.

For the sake of authenticity I decided to produce a version with the major
Aramaic terms, such as Maran Eashoa Msheekha for our Lord Jesus the Messiah,
and Maryah Allaha for Lord God. This is the Aramaic Scripture.

I have also added a hardcover version now, with an accompanying softcover
version. You will find all these at the above link. With the exception of the
Disciples New Testament, all these versions are to varying degrees idiomatic
translations, with literal wordings given in the footnotes.

The reason why I produced these versions with footnotes is that so my
readers could see the difference between my translation and their older
translations from the Greek and Latin.

I'm thinking now of producing a purely idiomatic version of the New
Testament. This one will be without footnotes. I will attempt to make it the
best example of an English language translation in modern times.

Jan. 17, 2014

I ran a second Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise funds
for the publication of the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures. The campaign did not
reach its goal, but it attracted a number of people who wanted to become
members of the Ancient Aramaic Church. The 2nd campaign just ended a few days
ago. I learned a great deal about the problems facing me as I present the
Ancient Aramaic Scriptures through a direct translation into English, without
going through Greek, Latin and English versions of the past.

The religious establishment in the US still holds that the New
Testament was originated in Greek and the Old Testament was originated in
Hebrew. All the websites on the Internet state this to be the case, with the
exception of a few Aramaic Primacy websites. The Aramaic Primacy movement is
relatively new. It appeared in recent years because of the strength of the
Internet in floating all sorts of ideas. There is no consensus among those
people promoting the Aramaic Primacy over the Greek.

My translation project presents a major breakthrough. I have
stated four major differences between my translation and the other
translations of the Scriptures. They are listed as 'the hallmarks' of my
translation project.

Mar. 22, 2014

The best way to deal with the problem presented by all the
erroneous versions of the Bible is joining the Ancient Aramaic Church (AAC)
and reading the Scriptures as translated from the language Eashoa Msheekha
spoke and read from in the synagogues of Judea 2000 years ago. You may start
by listening to my recital of the Gospel
of John in the Ancient Aramaic language and the accompanying translation
of all twenty-one chapters. Then you can see how the Ancient Aramaic answers
all your questions regarding the main doctrines of the Faith in Eashoa
Msheekha's name.

Apr. 10, 2014

Eida Goorah (Great Feast in Aramaic, Easter in English) is the
biggest holiday of the Eastern followers of Eashoa Msheekha. Eashoa celebrated
the Piškha (Passover) today approximately two thousand years ago. This was a
special Passover, because it was the final Passover.

Eashoa did celebrate the last Passover with His disciples one
more time. This was to commemorate His Sacrifice for them. He died for them so
they would not have to die the final death. Everyone dies in this life, but
the life that Eashoa had in store for His followers was the eternal life. The
whole Scripture was about Eashoa coming to the world, teaching His Children
how to live, how to preach the Gospel; it was about Eashoa sacrificing Himself
on the Cross and then rising from the dead. It was recorded and it all
happened to fulfill this one day in the history of the world: the Great Feast.

Eashoa did not wish His followers to live a short life and die
like Him. He sacrificed Himself so His followers would live a full life, a
life of preaching the Gospel to all the people who were hungry for the Truth.
He had the power to resurrect Himself; they would not have the power of
resurrecting themselves. They can follow Him, but they cannot become Him. He
wants them to live with hope and not to die with fear.

He taught His disciples how to live and preach the Truth of
the Scriptures. It is a great feast because Eashoa gave His followers the
prospect of eternal life after the life that they live in this world. That is
why Eida Goorah is a great celebration of the sacrifice and the resurrection
from the dead.

Apr. 16, 2014

One of the most difficult issues to resolve on the subject of
Bible origins is linguistic authenticity. There are myriads of opinion and
scholarship. The simple fact is that the Western Churches do not have native
scholars of the Scribal Language, and the Eastern Churches are in no position
to reveal their knowledge.

May 22, 2014

As I continue to translate the Old Testament -- for which
there is diminishing interest -- I keep hoping for a miracle. As Iraq is about
to crumble as a country, the faith that emerged out of Mesopotamia for the
last seven hundred years has managed to survive despite all the genocides
directed against the followers of Eashoa Msheekha. The martyrdom of the
descendants of the ancient Church that spread the faith in Maryah throughout
the world is recognized in Heaven, I'm sure of it. This much suffering does
not go unnoticed. It is written about in Revelation. My effort to produce a
movie in comparison to all that is happening is nothing. The preservation of
the original Scriptures is the most important task I have in front of me. May
Maryah bless you.

June 27, 2014

There are two versions of the translation posted here: the
Western and the Eastern. What is the difference? The difference is in the
terminology. Western terminology says, 'Jesus Christ and Lord God.'
Eastern terminology says, 'Maran Eashoa Msheekha and Maryah Allaha.'
Choose which version you wish to read. They are both translated from the
Ancient Aramaic Scriptures of the Ancient Church of the East. Both versions
contain all the Books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Acts
of the Apostles, Letters of the Apostles, and Revelation. And from the Old
Testament, these are posted: Genesis, Exodus, Isaiah, Daniel, Jonah, Jeremiah,
Zechariah, Malachi, Qohlat (Ecclesiastes), Proverbs (translation in progress),
Psalm 1 and 22. You will see all the links after you choose which version you
wish to read.

Why is the terminology so important? Because in the West it
has been assumed that the Western terminology is fundamentally correct and
that the Eastern terminology is a translation of the Hebrew Old Testament and
the Greek New Testament. Furthermore, the Western Churches have assumed that
the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures are not authentic, but heretical and foreign to
the true Christian faith. This is a serious charge. When I started translating
the Scriptures from the Ancient Aramaic language, I thought that Western and
Eastern Christianity were fundamentally the same, but the issues needed
clarification. I proceeded to translate and post my translations online -- it
has been seventeen years! And I can say now that I was completely wrong; they
are not the same! They are superficially the same. I thought that when the
Western Christians compared my translations of the Scriptures with their own,
they would immediately recognize that the Ancient Aramaic manuscripts I was
translating from were the original Scriptures from which Eashoa Msheekha read
from in the synagogues of Judea two thousand years ago and the Apostles
recorded in their own language, which was the Leeshana Ateeqah (Ancient
Aramaic) and not Greek! This did not happen. A few people appreciated my
efforts and supported my translation work by ordering my books. This was
encouraging. I have continued to translate and explain to people how to assess
the differences between all the translations.

One would think that there should be scientific proof as to
which version of the Scriptures are more authentic. Eashoa Msheekha ran into
this problem also. When he was approached by the Pharisees and Scribes, they
asked him, 'By what authority do you do these works?' He said to
them, 'I will ask you a question and if you answer it, I will tell you by
what authority. Was John's authority from men or was it from Allaha?'
(This was a reference to John the Baptist.) They went aside and whispered to
each other: If we say that it was from Allaha, he will say then why did you
not accept John's testimony regarding me, and if we say it was from men --
they were afraid, since the people accepted John as a prophet. So they came
back to Eashoa and said, 'We do not know.' And Eashoa said to them,
'Then I too will not tell you.' Sometimes when the truth is obvious,
it is best not to say anything -- they already had made up their minds that
Eashoa was not the Messiah prophesied by the Scriptures. They found it hard to
give up their positions. In the same way today Western Christianity finds it
hard to give up their position of authority in matters of faith, and even
harder to give up the wealth they have gathered in this world.

July 14, 2014

Although there is very little interest in the truth regarding the authentic Scriptures that Maran Eashoa Msheekha read from in the synagogues of Judea and the Apostolic New Testament compiled by the Apostle Paul and the Ancient Church of the East that emerged out of Jerusalem during the early years of the Faith in Maran Eashoa Msheekha, nevertheless it is necessary to keep up the work of translation and dissemination of this translation based on these original sources recorded in the Ancient Aramaic language.

With the world in turmoil, it is hard for most people to distinguish between the truth of the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures as posted on this website and the counter claims of all the churches fighting for survival in the world. It makes more sense for these churches to believe in their financial resources and their properties than the existence of the authentic Scriptures. Religious differences are sometimes cited as the reason for the atrocities committed on all sides, but wars are started because of political and economic reasons.

At times like these truth is the hostage.

September 6, 2014

The world is the same today as it was in the
time of Eashoa.

There were Pharisees and Scribes that followed
the traditions of Judaism. The temple in Jerusalem was a major center of the
Jewish religion, but Rome was the empire that ruled in Judea. Rome, like
Greece, was pagan; they believed in many gods.

The word 'god' itself was not
in use in those times, because the English language did not exist yet. The
Greek and Roman deities had names. People
find it hard today to comprehend such thoughts. So what did the Jewish people
call their 'God' before the word was invented? The first mention of the
name was in the Book of Creation, Genesis 17:1. And Abram reached the age of ninety-nine and
Maryah (the Lord) revealed Himself to Abram and said to him,
'In-nah-na (I am I) Eil Shaddai (Eil the Almighty.) Worship before me and be without fault.'

The English language began its present evolution a thousand
years ago. By about the 16th Century, the word 'God' was in use in the first
Bibles in English; but the word for 'God' was Allaha for thousands of years
before that. So at the time of Eashoa Msheekha, the word was Allaha in the
Ancient Aramaic and Elohim in Ancient Hebrew. Historically the Jews hardly
ever used the name of Elohim -- in the same way they restrict the use of the
name 'Adonai' (Lord) in modern times.

The Muslims used the same name for 'Allaha' and in Arabic it
became Allah. Whether Allaha, Elohim or Allah, the name comes from the same
linguistic root. In the English language, the Protestants broke tradition with
the three monotheistic religions and called their deity 'God.' This word was
neither in the Greek language nor in the Roman language, which is called
Latin.

The word 'God' became the name that American Christians used
for a hundred years to discriminate against the Muslims. When they found out
that Eastern Christianity also used the name of Allaha, they decided to treat
them as heretics. The Jews wisely did not use the designation 'Elohim' openly.

Then miraculously the world woke up one day to find out that
America was no longer a Christian Country. And a new era of peaceful
coexistence was born: America was secular and 'freedom of religion' meant that
all people could believe in whatever they wanted to believe. If there were
religious differences as to what name was acceptable, they agreed to disagree.
This period of world peace was amazingly very brief.

We are surprised to find out that the world did not suddenly
turn secular like us. To us it is very reasonable to expect that people should
not impose their religious beliefs on others; but secularism is a denial of
religion, and so it becomes a religious issue when people are denied their
belief systems. In a secular system, we can 'agree to disagree,' but now we
are at war over the issue of what is reported as 'truth.'

This is a bad time to be discussing the true name of the deity
in the Bibles of various Western denominations and the Scriptures of Eastern
denominations; however, it is good to remember that we don't have the right to
preach outside of the faith in Eashoa Msheekha -- for those of us who believe
in Eashoa Msheekha. We should respect people's religious beliefs and what they
call the deity that they worship.

But internally we can discuss the names that we use to call
our deity. Religious freedom is a good thing when it encompasses those people
who believe in the same religion. So just as religion cannot be imposed,
secularism should not be imposed. Therefore, the belief in Allaha should not
be denied by the English speaking people based on political issues.

The word 'Allaha' is thousands of years older than the word
'God.' Eashoa Msheekha used this word. When it comes to what we believe, it is
all a matter or interpretation from various languages; but the original
language of the Scriptures and the Bibles was the Ancient Aramaic, not
English. Within the community of those people who believe in Maran Eashoa
Msheekha, the name of Allaha should be respected.

Sept. 27, 2014

Fundamental Error

The word 'Eil' is not the same as the word 'Allaha.' They are
different words in the original language, the Ancient Aramaic.

In English, the words of Eashoa on the Cross are translated as
'My God, my God...' but this is the wrong translation. 'Eil, Eil...' is not
the same as saying, 'My God, my God...' This is a fundamental error.

The word 'Eil' does not come from the word 'Allaha.' It is the
most sacred name and confirmed by Eashoa Msheekha on the Cross. This word is a
fundamental doctrinal word in the faith of Eashoa Msheekha. It is a precious
word for anyone wishing to know the Truth.

The word 'Eil' is not the same as 'El.' The word 'El' does not
mean 'Eil.'

Eil refers to the 'Absolutely Eternal' Allaha. It is always
spelled the same way in both the Old and the New Testament Scriptures
preserved in the Ancient Aramaic language.

September 28, 2014

When God becomes an abstraction -- a spiritual
concept that must be explained as a mystery of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son
and Holy Ghost,) it becomes harder to understand the fulfillment of the
Scriptures' prophecies and who Eashoa Msheekha represents: His love, His sense
of commitment, His loyalty, His Grace, and His Sacrifice on behalf of His
followers. Because as an abstract concept, 'God' cannot sacrifice himself on a
cross; when he dies, what happens to his spirit? In the abstract 'God' cannot
speak to himself; he cannot pray to himself, who is Jesus talking to in the
Garden of Getsemene? 'God' cannot send another 'God' to be born as a baby out
of the womb of a human being; he cannot possess the power of 'God' as a child,
why does 'God' have to run away to Egypt when Herod is trying to kill him? God
cannot be explained in the abstract in a rational way. So
it is important to go back to an understanding of how is Maryah Allaha (the
Lord God) Triune and how is Eashoa Msheekha the only Milta (Manifestation)
of that Trinity.

Eashoa never manifested Himself as God to His
Children, He never speaks to them as God, He never helps them in any way as
God; He only manifests Himself to His followers as Eashoa Msheekha, and they
have to be cognizant of the fact that He is their Maryah Allaha (their Lord
God.) They progress from knowing Him as Maran Eashoa Msheekha to accepting Him
as Maryah Allaha when He is resurrected. Actually, Thomas calls Him, 'Mari oo
Allahi' (my Lord and my Allaha.)

Those who call themselves Christians and pray
only to God (though they may add at the end of their prayers, 'And we pray
this in the name of Jesus') find Him occasionally and unexpectedly. That is
why their prayers are never answered in their season. They go all over the
Scriptures in search of a logical explanation why God is mysterious, and in
the end they can only contrive an unconvincing answer. (Of course, other
religions do not call their deity 'God' -- in their own language they have
different designations -- this note is not concerning other religions.)

Recognizing Maryah Allaha is the culmination of
the Faith in Maran Eashoa Msheekha; it is different than 'Christianity.'
Cultural pride has stood in the way of those people who refuse to accept
Eashoa Msheekha as Maryah Allaha, and, I know, it is hard in these times, when
there is unbelievable persecution of Christianity in the Middle East, to
accept the true designation of Maryah Allaha. There are those that want you to
believe that Allaha (pronounced 'A-laha in Aramaic) and Allah (pronounced 'Ullah'
in Arabic) and Elohim (pronounced El-lo-heem in Hebrew) are all the same
deity. They are not.

Those people who call themselves 'Christians'
should consider the spiritual implications of continuing to call Maryah
Allaha: 'God.' Once the point of no return has been reached there is no going
back. It is time to touch the wounds of Eashoa as Thomas did and say the words
that Thomas said: 'Mari oo Allahi' [John 20:28], which were spoken in the
language that Eashoa Msheekha spoke and in which the Scriptures were recorded,
namely the Leeshana Ateeqah or the 'ancient tongue' of the Ancient Church of
the East. Millions of the followers of Eashoa Msheekha have been martyred on
account of this Faith in His Name. It is time for 'Christians' to show some
courage as well.

October 2, 2014

Here is an article
on semantics in the Scriptures and how language itself becomes an
impediment to the understanding of the Western Bible.

November 13, 2014

By what authority did Eashoa do His works?

Toward the end of His Ministry, Eashoa was approached at the
temple by the chief high priests and elders of the nation; they put this
question to him, 'By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this
authority?'

Eashoa replied to them, 'I too will ask you a question, and if you tell me, I
will answer you by what authority I do these things -- the baptism of John, where did it come from? Was it from heaven or was it from
men?'

They thought about it within themselves and said that if we say it is from heaven, he will tell us,
'And what was the reason that you did not believe in it?'

And to say that it was from men, they were afraid of the people,
because the people all believed John to be a prophet; so they said, 'We do not
know.'

Eashoa then said to them, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.'
[Matthew 21:23-27]

In the end, people believe what they want to believe. Even
today, Eashoa is recognized only by the few. He is relegated to a secondary role
by the established Christian churches. For His original followers Eashoa was the Milta
of Maryah Allaha. Today, it is the same: only those who believe in Him can be
His true followers.

November 20, 2014

Some people think that my translation of the Scriptures is
almost the same as the other mainstream Bibles of the Western Churches. It is
the same as far as the general subject matter, but is faithful only to what Eashoa
Msheekha taught; and so ultimately it is very different as far as significant
doctrines are concerned.

I spent three months reading the Gospel of John in the Ancient
Aramaic language and posting the mp3 audio with the accompanying translation
at the beginning of every chapter, only to have it all fall on deaf ears. It
has been two years now since I posted it. No one has written me about it and
the orders for all my translations has almost ceased.

And
what was the stumbling block? The terminology of the Ancient Aramaic language,
the language Eashoa Msheekha spoke. Eashoa called the Father 'Eil', the same
name that Moses wrote about in Genesis chapter 17. Eashoa did not use the
terms 'Christ' and 'Christian', because these were Greek words that had not
been written in the Greek New Testament yet, because there was no New
Testament during the lifetime of Eashoa on earth. And the term 'God' did not
come into use for another 1000 years because the English language did not
exist yet.

All this bothered the readers and listeners to my translation
of the Gospel of John. The only way to judge my translation of the Gospel
of John is to listen to my reading it in the Ancient Aramaic language with
the accompanying Text, then you can judge for yourself.

December 6, 2014

As we approach the day annually celebrated as the birth of
Eashoa Msheekha, it would help if we keep in mind that Eashoa is the only
Milta of Allaha. In other words, He is the only Manifestation of the Triune
Creator, Eil, who is Maryah Allaha forever. All the Scriptures testify to the
fact that Eashoa is the Msheekha (Messiah) prophesied by the Law and the
Prophets.

To all the people who celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and
those who celebrate the birth of Maran Eashoa Msheekha, remember that whatever
your language, He remains the same Bara d'Allaha (Son of God) who came to the
world 2000 years ago. Wishing you a Merry Christmas 2014!

It's wrong to attack
the prophets of other religions. Eashoa never attacked or ridiculed the
Greek and Roman pagan religions. There was no Christianity or Islam at the time
of Eashoa Msheekha, but Eashoa never ridiculed any religion. The Faith in His
Name was never meant to be antagonistic toward other religions. Eashoa said, 'I
did not come to condemn the world.' This business of supporting freedom of
speech when it has nothing to do with freedom, but is just a way to make money,
is not what Eashoa taught; His message was to preach to people who were
receptive to His teachings. He said, 'The sheep know the voice of their
shepherd.' It's a mistake to bombard the Islamic countries with phony Bibles.
It's forcing religious beliefs on billions of people who don't appreciate them.
At times like these, with the whole Muslim world inflamed, this is not a time
for Christians to insult the prophets of other religions. It causes a backlash
against the Eastern followers of Eashoa Msheekha who live in Islamic countries.
It causes the destruction of their livelihoods and oftentimes the death of many
of Eashoa's followers.

Some notes on the significance of the Four Gospels and the New
Testament. The New Testament is a course that leads an individual on a journey
of faith. The contents of the New Testament were compiled in a special way to
reach more people. Here is an
intro on how the New Testament was presented.

Shimun Keepa (Simon Peter) wrote his
First Letter from the Church in Babylon. This is the only reference to
where Keepa (Peter) was in the whole New Testament. There is absolutely no
mention of Keepa (Peter) going to Rome. The whole story of Peter in Rome, and
the establishing of the Roman Catholic Church, is not mentioned in any of the
New Testaments.

Keepa (Peter) started the Church in Babylon (1 Peter 5:13),
which was the Ancient Church of the East that began in Jerusalem after Eashoa's
Resurrection and that was carried there by the Disciples and Apostles of Eashoa
Msheekha. Most of the members of this Church were Ninevites, Chaldeans, and the
Aramaic speaking people of the region.

Ancient Aramaic was the language of all the Apostolic Churches
during the first four hundred years of the Faith in His Name, the Faith in
Eashoa Msheekha (Eashoa the Messiah.) Thereafter, Greek and Latin were also
used. Then came all the other language translations after the printing presses
were invented in 1440. All the Churches in the Holy Lands, the Near East, Middle
East, Far East, Africa, and Europe during the first four hundred years used the
Ancient Aramaic Scriptures. The Greek translations of the Old Testament (the
Septuagint) were never used at the time of Eashoa and subsequently by any of His
Apostles until the 5th Century, when the Emperor Constantine adopted them as the
basis for the Roman Church.

Moreover, the whole 'Kingdom of God on Earth' could not be
justified unless Peter went to Rome and died there as a martyr. This story is
simply not in the New Testament. Then the Protestant Reformation has no basis
for legitimacy either, because no one can reform what was never legitimate in
the first place.

The only legitimacy of the Faith in Maran Eashoa Msheekha in
Europe was carried over by the Apostle Paul (Shawool of Tarsos), the learned
Pharisee whom Eashoa blinded and reopened his eyes to see the Truth.

The only authentic Scriptures are the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures
that Eashoa read from in the synagogues of Judea and Galilee. The only authentic
New Testament Scriptures are the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures written by the
Apostles of Eashoa Msheekha and compiled by the Ancient Church of the East.
These I have identified and translated. They are posted on this website. If
someone can find a better translation of any verse in my translation, please
write me and tell me what it is. Or if you wish to tell me about your personal
testimony, please email me, I'd like to hear it.
